un-SIM-yuh-lay-ted
Definition
Referring to data or studies that are based on real-world observations rather than being generated or modeled by computer simulations.

The word combines the prefix 'un-', meaning not, with 'simulate', which comes from the Latin 'simulare', meaning to make like or imitate. It evolved to describe things that are authentic or actual rather than artificially reconstructed.
In the news
